Image downloads do not resume after restart despite ImageQueue.xml being present

[jagarbet]

Hello,

I’m having an issue with image/media downloads not resuming after restarting LaunchBox, and I’d like to confirm whether this behavior is expected or if I’m missing a setting.

Scenario:

• I start downloading images/media (via Download Images and Metadata).

• I close LaunchBox normally (File → Exit, no crash or force close).

• An ImageQueue.xml file is created and contains what appears to be valid pending download entries.

• When I start LaunchBox again, no downloads resume, no notification appears, and nothing happens.

What I’ve tried:

• Verified that ImageQueue.xml exists and is not empty.

• Waiting several minutes after launch in case it starts silently.

• Triggering a refresh by navigating platforms and views.

• Testing with a completely clean LaunchBox installation (same behavior).

• This happens consistently.

LaunchBox shows a notification when downloads start indicating that they can continue after restarting the application, so I assumed this behavior should be active by default.

My questions:

• Is there any option or setting that needs to be enabled to allow download resuming?

• Is automatic resume of image/media downloads actually supported, or is it conditional/limited?

• Under what circumstances is ImageQueue.xml supposed to be picked up and resumed on startup?

Any clarification would be appreciated, as I want to understand whether this is expected behavior or a configuration issue on my side.

Thanks in advance.
